Scale
Fresh Fruits:
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Liquid and Sweeteners:
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk for dairy-free option)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Combine frozen pineapple chunks, ripe blueberries, cold milk, ice cubes, honey, and vanilla extract into a high-powered blender.
- Pulse the mixture briefly to break down larger chunks, then blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until achieving a silky, uniform consistency with no visible fruit chunks.

Notes
- Adjust sweetness by experimenting with honey or alternative natural sweeteners like agave or maple syrup.
- For a dairy-free version, swap regular milk with almond, coconut, or oat milk to create a vegan-friendly frappuccino.
- Freeze extra pineapple and blueberries in portion-sized bags for quick, ready-to-blend smoothie prep anytime.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding a scoop of protein powder or a handful of spinach without compromising the delicious fruity flavor.
